The most amazing Earrings ever!! Sterling Silver, Handmade Hoop Earrings with Spike and Bead detail. Diameter left to right: 4cm

Bandit Queen - The name comes from the Indian woman 'Phoolan Devi' - a lower caste village girl who, after being married at age 11, went on to live a life of extreme violence as a bandit. She originally set out to avenge the men who had seriously abused her. This led to her becoming an almost "Robin Hood" like figure, using crime and violence to help low caste members who were struggling with poverty and oppression. She was jailed for 11 years for her crimes, and shot dead shortly after her release from prison. A fiercely strong woman, who went on to become a hero.
